It was a book, not just someone's junk post to some forum. The book is dated 2006 Title: Introduction to Computers Editor: Rajmohan Joshi ISBN: 81-8205-379-X page 79 In fact I did not believe the information from the book, so I wanted to verify it. Since many of notable IBM-MAIN members denied it, I'm pretty sure the book is simply wrong. THANK YOU ALL. BTW: Privately I am floppy disk entomologist. As well as other storage media, like tapes, etc. I have a lot of pictures, data sheets, etc. And even my own 55-page booklet. :-) -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland W dniu 13.07.2024 o 00:03, Michael Oujesky pisze: > What book?
